2022 MTV Europe Music Awards 11.13.22

The 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards went down last night from the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany. As always, an incredible night to celebrate music and all of its genres. The EMA’s I always find exciting because you do see artists across so many different genres being represented in the same categories, like Best Video or Artist. This year, Harry Styles topped the ticket with seven nominations, followed by Taylor Swift with six, and Nicki Minaj with five.

The awards and winners as always, are fun to discuss. This may the first time since the category came about that BTS did not win Best K-Pop, but they still won Best Fans, which has got to be something special. Video for Good is now one of my favorite categories, as artists do have an important platform that they can use to make a difference. Latto’s nomination for her song P***y was meant to shed light on the complications of the overturn of Roe V Wade, and while she did not take home the metal, I love the nomination here, and MTV giving this song a platform on their stage, even with a potentially conversation song title/topic of discussion.

Did you favorite artist win take home any wins last night? Any major misses you see?
